watch the throne

if you can’t judge a book by its cover, can you judge an album by one? jay-z + kanye west debuted some art this week (see below), as well as a track-list for their upcoming collaboration (discussing it above w/B who cameos on the record? the only other appearance on the record: odd future’s frank ocean).

the album artist is Riccardo Tisci, also Givenchy’s creative director. if the cover is actually made of metal, as has been indicated, i can definitely feel it.

re: tracklist. those are just funny to me. it takes an unreasonable and plain stupid amount of inference. that said, who wouldn’t want to hear “Living So Italian” or “No Church In A While” or “Otis Redding” or…?? OK, i get it.
